This Sunday saw the running of a new club trophy and that of an increasingly more popular trophy. The new trophy is the Celt Cup, kindly donated by Dave and Lynne Thomas, in loving memory of their fabulous champion Conway Celt. The cup is run for, as a supreme trophy, with the winners of each weight group in a run-off.
The second trophy presented on the day was the Back To Front Award, donated this year by Louise Simmonds. The object of the race is that the dog that is placed last i.e. the slowest dog of the day, wins the prize. This is an annually presented award with the previous years winner providing the trophy for the next year.
Lightweight heats:- Whiphaven Mighty Mouse, Xplicit
Final:- 1st Xplicit, 2nd Bee United, 3rd W/H Mighty Mouse, 4th Conway Tear
Heavyweight heats:- Bowans Dream, Spennells Valley
Final:- 1st Spennells Valley, 2nd Bowans Dream, 3rd Blueberry Super.
Celt Cup:- a very close finish resulting in a win for Spennells Valley, just pipping Xplicit on the line.
Back to Front Trophy:- Last and therefore winner of the trophy was Yagans Dream, 2nd Blithe Spirit, 3rd Kangarooby, 4th (and fastest dog in the race,) Whiphaven Mighty Smidge. Lord knows how I work out the club points for that race.
Many thanks to all who helped out. Things ran smoothly. Welcome to Tracey who came to visit, and hopefully join, with her beautiful puppy Beau, and also to the guy whose name I shamefully cannot remember (early dementia) who raced Blueberry Super and Blackthorn Bob. We hope he too will join the clan.
The 'regulars' decamped to the pub for lunch and a drink. A good time was had by all.
